Mazor's friends learned of his prison isolation. As issue was refusing to wear proper attire and address IPS commanders by their official ranks.

His automatic sentence shortening was cancelled. Reasons weren't given. Mazor served in the IDF armor corps from 1999 - 2002. He was mostly assigned to the Jordan Valley and West Bank.

He also performed reservist duty. He told journalist Hagar Matar that Israel's occupation harshness weighed on him, saying:

"I arrived in the army as a typical product of the system." He thought of himself as "a nice boy, serving in the territories, doing what he's told. Without thinking. Mostly without thinking."

He also tried "grey insubordination." It means objecting privately. After going abroad and returning, he no longer could "resume the facade anymore."

At first, he received a 15-day suspended sentence. After refusing to serve, he was told "to go home and think."

He spent time with Breaking the Silence activists. His views hardened. He refused orders in protest.

He was told to return to his base for sentencing and would continue receiving military service orders.

IDF officials confirmed his trial and sentencing without further comment.
